Physical Assault & Abuse Compensation Lawyers

Physical assault is intentional harm, unwanted sexual contact or deliberate actions to intimidate, control, degrade, isolate or injure another person. Assault can happen anywhere. It can happen in institutional environments like schools, churches, universities, sports clubs or various other places.

You may be entitled to a claim if you’ve been physically assaulted by a stranger, spouse, de facto partner or romantic partner in a public or private setting. Whatever when, where or how the abuse happened, survivors have the right to get support, justice and financial compensation for their trauma.

Assault is a specific unlawful act, like hitting someone or threatening immediate harm. Abuse is a broader pattern of mistreatment often repeated and involving a power imbalance that may include multiple assaults. A person who has experienced either type may be eligible to pursue a compensation claim.
